Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a reference frequency Δf. According to the invention, the use of a first optical resonator (3a; 24) and of a second optical resonator (25) is provided, wherein the first resonator (3a; 24) has a first resonator mode having a first frequency f1 and the second resonator (25) has a second resonator mode having a second frequency f2, wherein the frequencies of the two resonator modes are functions of an operating parameter BP and assume the values f1 and f2 at a specified value BP0 of the operating parameter such that f1(BP0)=f1 and f2(BP0)=f2 apply, wherein the resonators (3a; 24, 25) are designed in such a way that the respective first derivatives of the frequencies f1(BP), f2(BP) with respect to BP or at least respective difference quotients around BP0 correspond within a deviation of at most ±0.1%, wherein light of the first frequency f1 is stabilized to the first frequency f1 by means of the first resonator and light of the second frequency f2 is stabilized to the second frequency f2 by means of the second resonator, and wherein the difference between the stabilized frequencies f1 and f2, Δf=|f1−f2|, is determined in order to obtain the stabilized reference frequency Δf.
